Saint-Michel-de-Chaillol extends across the lower slopes of the Vieux Chaillol massif in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, and its mountainside position has shaped it into a dispersed alpine commune rather than a compact town. Above the upper Drac valley, meadows and larch woods lead toward the high ground of the southern French Alps. The Chaillol 1600 ski area anchors the local winter season, while summer brings walkers and cyclists to the surrounding mountain roads and trails. The wider Champsaur area is also known for tourtons, filled pastries traditionally served in local kitchens. Browse additional webcams from the Champsaur valley and the Hautes-Alpes.
